- President Obama describes the complications associated with the individual sign-up for the Affordable Care Act and apologizes to Americans whose insurance plans are being canceled due to the law.

He says the website is being fixed and is confident everyone will be able to register by the March 2014 deadline. Obama also talks about National Security Agency surveillance of foreign leaders, negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, and the rumor he considered replacing Vice President Biden with Hillary Clinton for the 2012 campaign.
